@AntBit That film surely is an eye-popping ride. Also some nostalgia involved, as it reminds me of the time when two major cinematic communities in Germany still existed.

@ToruOkada the early Noughties were just such an exciting time for Korean cinema. Anything could happen.

@AntBit And there was this window of opportunity that you could order DVDs from Asia that did not have a release in Europe or the US. Nowadays, customs regulations have cut these ties.
